Electricity 4 Gas

Took some time off there, but I'm back now. In the mean time, I tried out another ebook manual for converting your car to electric, called Electricity4Gas. This was a no-fluff, "get down to brass tacks" type of manual. To me, that was very refreshing. The author was clearly not trying to impress me with how many pages he could fill with stuff I didn't care much about. In my opinion, most books take way too many pages to say something that could be said in half the time. The author also includes some details that I didn't see in any of the other manuals, such as how to reconnect your alternator to charge your 12V accessory system without a DC/DC converter.


On the other hand, it did seem to gloss over some details that may be second nature to the mechanically skilled, but may leave the novice scratching his head. It did, however, include several pages of up-to-date links to resources that could help you get going on your own conversion and get you in touch with experienced people that could help fill in these gaps. This is one advantage of an e-book over a regular printed book, since it is possible for the author to keep updating digital information as things change (as we all know they do).

Similar to the Convert-2-EV eBook, I didn't think the manual was worth the asking price (let alone the suggested retail price), but it does come with six (6) bonus books on topics such as getting paid to drive, improving fuel efficiency, beating a speeding ticket, making your own bio-diesel, as well as books on reducing your carbon footprint and home energy saving tips. With the bonuses it's a good value, if those are topics you are interested in. If you want a down-to-earth simple manual with some good resources and worthwhile bonuses, I would recommend Electricity4Gas (This is my cleverly disguised affiliate link, meaning that if you buy this product, I will get a commission, which I might use to buy something silly, like doughnuts).
